Tonight, a grab-bag of early Electronic Music, as we celebrate the legacy of A Different Nature, during this membership drive.

DJs Rich and Dr. Zomb brought real records and played them and talked about the music and the show that was founded by Richard Francis and the Different Nature Collective's ongoing mission to continue to his work.

Well! Another 12 Hour Grateful Dead Marathon is officially behind us! Wow! What a good night! I am here to tell you about what happened between 3:00 and 9:00 PM P.S.T. After Alicia's fine 3 hour set of "Attack Of The Killer Audience Tapes", Mathew took the chair for a rousing Jerry Band fest. Starting with Garcia Band 3-6-76 Seattle Washington, also a Killer Audience Tape, and ending with an ultra rare reading of Moonlight Mile. After that, we were treated to some Good Ol' Grateful Dead featuring Pig Pen. Just when you think you've heard it all, up pops something like April 1974 Marin County Bluegrass Festival. These selections were The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band with Jerry Garcia sitting in! Next up was a strong vintage of 1971 Good Lovin. And for the center piece of his segment, Pittsburgh Pa. Civic Arena was well represented. Matt closed his set with soulfull Jerry Garcia Band cut "Who Was John?" from 03-06-76.

Well! What was I to do live up to that? Sheesh! We started my set off with two cuts from the first set of Hampton, Virgina (Yes! The Warlocks Shows!) 10-08-89 . Next stop for Begonia Studios Presents was Normal, Illinois April 24, 1978 for a major portion of the second set. What to do next?....We returned to The Hampton Rhodes Coliseum, Va. 10-9-89 for the now legendary second set breakout of Dark Star (Last time played 7-13-84!). We surfed that wave all the way up to Drumz. And that is how it went down. But it wasn't over yet! Andrew took the chair for the late show. You'll find his set list independant of this one on Grateful Dead And Friends / Playlists / Andrew Geller. See you on May 29th! (If not sooner!) I'll try to get some pictures of the marathon up soon!
